Manuel Adalid Hauser – Segovia Hauser ’37 Bench Copy

Manuel Adalid Hauser – Segovia Hauser ’37 Bench Copy

Comments:

There is much to say about this Hauser. First, it is very special. It is Number 1 in a very select series of guitars built by Manuel and it is signed by him personally, built in his personal workshop in Alboraya. I have an Adalid Custom Classical Guitar based on a Reyes here, built by Manuel in this same workshop. Gorgeous, bringing his 50+ years of experience to the table in these extraordinary builds.

I should say that this is a Bench Copy of the 1937 Hauser Segovia Edition, as compared to other models out there that are based on a Hauser ’37. Manuel builds another Hauser model, which is based on the Hauser ’37, but it cannot be called a bench copy. There is a difference! I talk about this below, including woods, workmanship and most especially, the sound. Man, the sound!

Another Note….this guitar is only available in my shop. If anyone else says they have the Segovia Hauser ’37 Bench Copy built by Manuel Adalid, they are not telling the truth.

Right now, this is the only one built, and it is only available here. Moving forward, I will be the only shop carrying this select line of guitars built by Manuel. I’m personally excited by this, for a number of reasons, but the most important being that they are seriously special. I don’t really care who you’re playing or what you spent, this guitar is better. The voice, the sound, the play, the complexity, the clarity, all of it is there and more.

The Spruce is specially selected German Spruce. Some call Euro Spruce German. This is actually German Spruce. It is drop dead gorgeous.

The East Indian Rosewood is also selected special. You can see why in the photos.

Manuel worked closely with a well known guitarist of incomparable ability, who also has an excellent ear, to develop this extraordinary line of guitars. From the choices of the woods to the tapping of the instrument’s boards, to the minutest detail, we are looking at one of the most reasonable Hauser replicas or bench copies seen in a while. The only miscalculation may have been in the size and shape of the bridge, but honestly, the guitar does not suffer for it. This is being addressed moving forward. Look, some people say something like this very loosely, in my opinion. I’m telling you, this guitar is incredible.

The machines are built by the Fustero people exclusively for Manuel Adalid. They have developed a line of magnificent machines that perfectly complement many of the guitars that I have here from Manuel. They cannot be found elsewhere for the time being.

The play is magnificent. Low and accessible, it is designed for a player with proper RH Tech, but anyone of course can play her.

The sound. Oh yeah, the sound is the kick in the pants. True to almost a fault. In the spirit of the Hauser, this guitar embodies the ghost of the Hauser I. I kid you not. I don’t speak out of turn, or exaggerate. It’s not necessary in my business. Either something is awesomely good or it is not. If it isn’t, it’s not available here in the studio.

This guitar will light you up. When you’re finally extinguished, they will find you burned indelibly, with a big freakin’ smile on your face. Come and play it for yourself. You’ll understand.

The price includes a Hiscox Lite Flite Black HSC and Expedited Shipping to the 50US

The guitar has only one slight mark in the top. Other than that, visual inspection shows us nothing. The guitar is gently used and well taken care of leaving you with a nearly new guitar from the hands of Manuel Adalid himself for less than the Bench Copy #002 I have available by a significant amount. This is a gorgeous guitar with a wholesome and beautiful sound and resonance.

November 29, 2013 – apparently I recorded this baby back in late August and did not post the recording? Am I busy or what? So distracted. Anyways, you can tell the character of this absolutely beautiful guitar instantly. Gorgeous. Enjoy. Rich
